Why does an apple tree drop unripe fruits: non-obvious reasons
At first glance, it may seem that there is no reason for an apple tree to drop unripe fruits.
However, in reality, a culture may behave this way for certain reasons.
Agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh spoke about why exactly an apple tree begins to “lose” its unripe apples.
According to the expert, it is necessary to pay attention to certain aspects of the behavior of this culture.
Take note
Most often, the apple harvest can become very meager and unattractive due to the apple tree being damaged by the codling moth.
This parasite prefers to feed on the pulp and seeds of apples, preventing their normal ripening.
In addition, the tree may experience a lack of moisture. In this case, it is necessary to establish regular and moderate watering.
It is also necessary to ensure that the apple tree is protected from scab or fruit rot. Otherwise, a good apple harvest will only be a dream.
